Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
Ezekiel 14:4 — KJV
That cometh. This is the reading of the text according to Masoretic tradition. The Hebrew text itself is obscure. The Targums read “by myself.” This idea is supported by the form of the verb for “answer,” which may convey the reflexive idea, showing that the Lord will answer by Himself, and not the prophet.
No man can hope folly to know what God would have him do unless his own heart is truly submissive to the divine will. This is because an unregenerate heart, uncontrolled by the Holy Spirit, cannot understand the things of God (1 Corinthians 2:14). Even if the carnal mind were instructed, it would misunderstand, misapply, and distort, for men believe only what they want to believe. God, who never coerces the human will, permits these self-willed creatures to cling to their delusions (see John 7:17; 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 12).
